Question:

Statement I: After fertilization, the ovules in the ovary develop into seeds.

Statement II: After fertilization, the ovary matures into a fruit.

Options:

Only statement I is correct.

Only statement II is correct.

Both statement I and II are correct.

Both statement I and II are incorrect.

Correct Answer:

Both statement I and II are correct.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) -Both statement I and II are correct.

After fertilization, the ovules in the ovary develop into seeds. This is a fundamental process in plant reproduction where the fertilized ovules undergo development and eventually become seeds. The seeds contain the plant embryo and are surrounded by protective seed coats.

After fertilization, the ovary matures into a fruit. This is another essential process in plant reproduction. The ovary, which housed the ovules, undergoes changes after fertilization, leading to the development of the fruit. The fruit typically protects and helps disperse the seeds contained within.

So, both statements are accurate and describe key events in the plant's reproductive cycle.
